Bayliner Diner

If you are staying at Universal's Cabana Bay Resort, the convenience of this diner cannot be beat, plus the quality, selection, and quantity of the food is respectable. Although our stay was only 1 night, we ended up eating here 3 times after our first experience was good (both lunch and dinner on the day we checked in, plus dinner the next evening in case you were wondering lol).We tried:- Brazilian churrasco, served with chimichurri sauce and your choice of 2 sides. We went with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. Everything was pretty good.- Chicken tenders and fries. Standard fare, no complaints.- Ahi tuna bowl. Surprisingly not bad! Rice was a bit dry but the sauce mostly made up for it.- Spaghetti and meatballs, which came with a breadstick. Reminded me of school lunch, but hey, this would have been one of my favorite school lunches lol.- Shrimp and veggie stir fry over rice. The veggies were fresh and well-cooked, and it came with at least 6 shrimp.- Meat lover's pizza. It was on special and loaded with bacon, pepperoni, ham, and sausage. It was similar to what I would expect from Pizza Hut.You pick up your food cafeteria style and then bring it to the registers to pay.There is a ton of seating and a bunch of workers floating around to keep the dining area clean. Very much appreciated with the amount of traffic the place gets.

We ended up eating here twice on our stay! We were surprised with the quality of the food! We were expecting sub-par food as it was sort of served cafeteria style, but were pleasantly surprised! Night one we ordered a pepperoni pizza and breadsticks. Both were delicious! It is exactly what you would expect for hotel pizza, but after a long day it hit the spot! Night two we ordered spaghetti and meatballs and a mushroom Swiss burger. The spaghetti was plain sauce, but again it really hit the spot after a long day! The burger was okay, but the patty was pretty soggy and gross by the time we got back to the room... I ended up taking it off as it was wet and falling apart. They had lots of options too! Salad bar, chicken strips, burgers, pizza, pasta, South American, sandwiches and more!

While Crystal was able to correct what went terribly wrong with our order of a white pizza there was no reason for it. Using the mobile order to get "Mediterranean white pizza" no description was listed for this... and again all the pizzas DID have listed what was on them (even the simplest pepperoni pizza says red sauce pepperoni and cheese). So why wouldn't you list ALL the ingredients (and there were a lot of things like black and green olives, artichoke, and no ricotta cheese or garlic). My first call I was created with a surly man who said I needed to walk down with the ill gotten pizza (which took an hour and 20 min not the 40 min we were promised) and then I called back and spoke with Michael who was very nice and connected me with Crystal. She understood what I meant about the menu... how it was misleading and that by now (original order placed at 6 and now it was well after 7:30)) it was really just so outside the scope of fixable. She knew what a white pizza was and got it done. I hope that they fix menu so that this doesn't happen to other guests, and I really hope they give her a raise. She was fantastic. As was Michael. The first man I spoke to could have been kinder.

This quick place services inside cabana Bay resort is cafeteria style. For the Disney fans, think of it like the pop century food. You go in line depending on what you crave, order and then pay at the cashier at the exit. There's also grab and go.I try the pepperoni pizza. It was ok. It's a thin sliced pizza with minimum cheese. It honestly treated like some frozen pizza chain you can buy in store and not freshly made like pop. I don't think I'll get this again.My girlfriend took pasta alfredo which come with a garlic bread. She said it was good. Nothing put off the extraordinary but as expected for hotel food.

This place is one of my favorite places while on vacation. After spending some time in Vegas, I have come to appreciate both the variety and price even more. My wallet was gauged in Vegas and they seemed to only offer burgers and pizza. This place has superior burgers and some decent pizza plus a great variety of food for most people. This vacation I discovered the savory waffle for breakfast which was so good i will crave it from now on. It was a waffle with spinach and cheese baked in topped with more spinach and cheese and a delicious avocado sauce, more places need to have a savory waffle on their menu. We were worried, they seemed to change their coffee provider but it was still delicious, a nice way to wake up in the morning and relax with a solid cup of coffee.

This is a great spot for anyone to eat at whether you are on the run and need a to-go box or! If you are wanting to sit down and eat your food. I was here during a work trip and decided to try the Brazilian beef with rice and black beans as my side. It was absolutely delicious! I was able to tell them how I wanted my beef, which was medium well. They cooked it as I specified.... The rice was seasoned well (that is not something that is common!) and the black beans were too! This dish was SO delicious that I got it again a different night! I also got chicken strips and fries on a different visit and I have also gotten some other items that I needed for the room. They had cut water beverages which was perfect to unwind back in my room! I will enjoy bringing my family here on the next visit. They have so much to offer!

Lots of tasty options, no matter what your preferences are. They have several item ranging from International favorites to personal pizzas. Something for everyone, including picky eaters and vegetarians. Multiple grab and go items, if you're not interested in dining in their massive dining space (which has fun retro commercials playing on giant screens), but they also several meals served on actual plates with actual silverware. Drink stations are conveniently located in four areas of the dining room; the Coke freestyle machines work with the refillable cups sold at the diner, but ice and water are free for everyone so make sure to top off a refillable water bottle or cup before heading out to the parks. Prices are very reasonable for a resort! Definitely a must visit if you need a meal on a chill hotel day, or want to grab breakfast before heading out. And the coveted pizzas after HHN are lifesavers when you're tired and hungry.

I recently stayed at Cabana Bay Beach, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the tasty food here. Over the course of my stay, I tried the Cuban sandwich, marguerita flatbread, breakfast croissant sandwich, Brazilian beef churrasco. Out of them all, I would say the Cuban was the biggest miss for me. It was really nothing special. However, the pasta salad that I got as a side was delicious! I could eat that as an entree.However, the others were delicious! The marguerita flatbread was hot and tasty, perfect and filling for a late night snack. I love a good breakfast sandwich, and the breakfast croissant sandwich here did not disappoint! We got it with sausage, and it was tasty. We got potatoes on the side, also yummy! Plenty for my boyfriend and I to share. As for the Brazilian beef churrasco, I asked for it medium rare, and it came more medium or medium well. However, it was still surprisingly tender in addition to well seasoned and flavorful. We got the potato casserole and masala curry roasted cauliflower as sides. While the cauliflower was more lukewarm rather than hot, both were flavorful and delicious! The prices here are also very reasonable, but it could also be because I'm used to California prices. The portions are also very generous; one meal can easily feed two people. Overall, this is a great fast casual dining option. While it may not be worth a special trip, I would definitely eat here again if I'm staying at this ho.

I recently stayed at Universal's Cabana Bay Resort and was able to try Bayliner Diner. This is my favorite onsite cafeteria on property. They have a great menu with something for everyone at every meal. On this experience I had a turkey sandwich with housemate chips. The sandwich is one of my favorites loaded with flavor and a large portion. After paying I was able to sit in their raring area that is themed to 50's retro. They play old black and white clips while you eat. When you stay here I strongly suggest trying Bayliner. You don't be disappointed!

The quality of food served was average that resembles cafeteria style food from a schools. The service was also on low to average when ordering food. The cooks just really seemed not happy to be there. Ambiance was also average, it resembled a dressed up cafeteria. I get this place is part of Universal and set my expectations accordingly. Disney does it better in this instance.
